Question: Was A Movie Ever Shot In Lynnfield?

Editor's Note, Oct. 22 - We seem to have found the answer to this question. Click here for more.

Earlier this week, a reader named Stephen sent an email asking about a movie that was apparently shot in or around Lynnfield. In the email, Stephen said that he thinks the movie was shot in the early 1990s and that the only two scenes he can recall involved a motorcycle driving down Main Street and a shot outside (Pentabs?) in the rain.

Personally, I do not recall ever hearing about a movie shot in Lynnfield, and a check with the Mass. Film Office website finds no mention of a film ever shot in town either.

That said, it's a pretty interesting question so it's worth putting out there to see if we're missing something.

For the record, Lynnfield has popped up once or twice in the world of film, although very indirectly at best. Some locals may know that in the 2007 Western 3:10 to Yuma, Christian Bale mentioned in passing that he was from a place back East called Lynnfield. The movie was a remake of the 1957 film by the same name starring Glenn Ford, and I've never seen any mention of Lynnfield with that version, for what it's worth.

Also, as noted in this Lynnfield Patch article from last year, the 1936 comedy "Theodora Goes Wild" took place in a little New England community called Lynnfield that was scandalized by the racy (for that time of course) novel that she had anonymously penned.

So with that - does anybody know anything about a movie ever being filmed in the town? Also - if you know some other cinematic references to Lynnfield, please feel free to mention them below in the comments box!
